Alma Mater
Mather, we love you, oh we do.
And to you, Mather, we will be true.
We've always loved you from the start;
You will be ever in our hearts.
You are the best school in the land;
There is no other that is so grand;
We'll never forget you ere we go,
Our Alma Mater ever more.
(Chorus:)
Mather Academy, Mather Academy,
Your Eagles fly on high,
Onward into the sky;
Your colors, blue and white,
Standing for all that's right,
Mather Academy, we'll sing to you.
First Alma Mater
Mather Academy, Mather Academy
That's the place for me!
Dearest high school in the State,
That's what she'll always be,
Ra! Ra! Ra!
Sing her praises,
Shout her graces,
Show the world we'll rule!
We'll boast our dear ole high school
To the skies.
Alumni Alma Mater
(Tune: "Auld Lang Syne")
Dear Alma Mater, how we love
To sing of thy great birth;
We love thee now as ne'er before,
Because we know thy worth . . .
(Chorus:)
O, Alma Mater dear, we sing
Thy praises to the sky.
God bless you, Alma Mater dear,
And keep you going high.
Thy sons and daughters everywhere
Are proud to bear thy name,
They love you and they strive to do
The things that will bring fame . . . (Chorus)
For fifty years in this old town
You've been a beacon light,
Upon a hill where all can see,
To guide us in the light . . . (Chorus)
You are our hope, our pride, our joy,
Our inspiration, too;
In future years our deeds will show
Just what we think of you . . . (Chorus)
We pledge to you our loyalty,
We'll raise your colors high,
We love to know the blue and white
Are floating near the sky . . . (Chorus)
